Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products,
but it is essential that the product user also
exercise care when using an electrical appliance.
Listed below are precautions which are essential
for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions
provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet
before you insert or remove a plug. Remove
by grasping the plug – do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug
when the appliance is not in use and
before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension
cord unless this cord has been checked
and tested by a qualified technician or
service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power
outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked
on the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your
appliance is being used near children or
infirm persons.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while
in use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose
other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas
flame, electric element or on a heated oven.
Do not place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang
over the edge of a table or bench top or touch
any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance
by unskilled persons, some appliances are
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such
appliances should always be returned to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a
damaged cord or after the appliance has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage
is suspected, return the appliance to the
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre
for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam
recommend the use of a residual current
device (RCD) with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit
supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water
or any other liquid unless recommended.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,
please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.
Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR
SUNBEAM VITASTEAM ELECTRONIC.
• Ensure your steamer is used at least 50cm
(half a metre) away from a gas flame or
electric element.
• Do not operate the steamer on an inclined
surface.
• Do not move or cover the steamer while in
operation.
• Do not immerse the base of the steamer in
water or any other liquid.
• Use your steamer well away from walls,
curtains and cupboards that may be affected
by steam.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Sunbeam VitaSteam electronic food steamer.
You will now be able to enjoy the benefits
and convenience of steam cooking.
Steaming is one of the healthiest cooking
methods available, as it requires no fats
or oils. Steaming ensures that fruit and
vegetables retain vitamins and minerals
required for a balanced diet. Meats such as
chicken can be gently steamed to retain their
flavour and tenderness, while the fats drain
away.
Steaming is also gentle, as the food never
comes in contact with the cooking liquid,
ensuring that it retains its shape, colour and
texture.

An Introduction to Steam Cooking
5
Before using your VitaSteam Electronic for
the first time, wash the steaming bowls,
rice bowl, lid and drip tray in warm soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Operate the
steamer for 15 minutes using a solution of 1
tablespoon lemon juice and 2 cups water in
the reservoir.
Note: You may notice a slight odour during
this first operation. This is normal with many
heating appliances and will not affect the
performance of your steamer.
1.Fill the water reservoir above the ‘MIN’
water level and no higher than the ‘MAX’
water level.
Note: Use only clean water in your VitaSteam
Electronic. Do not use wine, stock or other
liquids.
2. Put the Removable Drip Tray in place.
Note: Do not operate the Steamer without the
Removable Drip Tray.
3. Place food to be steamed without sauce or
liquid into the steaming bowls and place
on the Power Base. If steaming with sauce
or liquid, use the rice bowl and place
inside one of the steaming bowls.
4. Replace the lid.
5. Insert the plug into a 230-240V power
outlet and turn the power on.
6. To set the Timer turn unit on by pressing
the Power button.
00:00 will appear on
the LCD screen.
7. Press the “SET” button once and the
word “STEAMER” will appear on the LCD
screen. An automatic cooking time of 10
minutes will appear. To change this time
use the MIN (minutes) and HR (hours)
buttons to change cooking time to the
desired cooking time. There is a maximum
cooking time of 3 hours 59 minutes.
Once the cooking time has been chosen
the unit will turn on automatically after
5 seconds. The neon cooking light will
go on to let you know that steaming has
commenced. 5 beeps will sound when the
selected time has elapsed and the steamer
will automatically go to a “KEEP WARM”
function.
Note: If the water in the Steamer runs out
before the cooking has finished the unit will
sound a continuing beep and the Neon light
will blink. See section on the Automatic Boil
dry sensor setting on page 6.
8. Using oven mitts or a cloth, remove the
lid by tilting it away from you to ensure
steam is safely released without scalding.
Hold the lid over the steamer to allow the
condensation to drain into the unit before
removing completely. Remove the plug
from the power outlet after use.
9. Remove the steamer tray/rice bowl and
serve the food.
Note: Use caution when handling the base of
the unit and steamer/rice bowl as these will
be hot.

For Best Results
The cooking times stated in this booklet are
a guide only. The steaming time required for
specific foods is affected by the following:
• The size, quality and the temperature of
the food.
• The degree to which you like your food
cooked.
• The temperature of the water used for
steaming.
To ensure good results using your VitaSteam
Electronic, follow these simple tips: –
• Remove food soon after the steaming cycle
is completed. Food will continue to cook
slightly with the keep warm function.
• Food should be arranged evenly in all
steamer bowls. Foods of uniform size will
steam at a similar rate.
Using your VitaSteam Deluxe (continued)
3. Press the “SET” button again, and the
word “TIMER” will appear on the LCD.
Press the MIN (minutes) button to the
desired delay time. There is a maximum of
30 minutes that this function can be used
for. Once the delay time has been chosen
the unit will turn on automatically after
5 seconds and the delay countdown will
begin. Once the delay time has finished
the Steamer will start the cooking process.
Keep warm function
The steamer is fitted with a “Keep Warm”
function. Once the selected cooking time
has finished the Steamer will beep 5 times.
The unit will automatically go to the “Keep
Warm” function where the Steamer will
switch itself on and off releasing a small
amount of steam at a time to keep your food
warm. The Steamer will stay in the “Keep
Warm” setting function for 1 hour. After 1
hour the Steamer will beep 3 times and the
Steamer will turn off.
Automatic boil dry sensor setting:
The Steamer is fitted with an automatic boil
dry sensor which switches off the heating
element if the base is accidentally switched
on empty or boils dry. If this occurs a
continuing beep will sound and the Neon
light will blink. If cooking, the timer will
stop. Refill water through the spout and press
the “SET” button to recommence the cooking
process. The timer will continue with the
remaining cooking time left on the LCD.
7
The VitaSteam Deluxe features an Instant
Steam Function that will enable steam to
be generated in as little as 30 seconds. For
this feature to operate you must place the
Removable Drip Tray with instant steam
sleeve in position.
The Sleeve concentrates a small amount of
water around the Exposed Heating Element,
quickly bringing it to boiling temperature to
produce steam, rather than heating all of the
water in the reservoir.
The Sleeve has a small cut out in the bottom
to allow water to flow into the contained
water area.
For more efficient steaming we recommend
that the appliance is always operated with
the Removable Drip Tray with instant steam
sleeve in position.
Guide to Instant Steam Function
Guide to Water Levels
Your VitaSteam Electronic relies on the water
reservoir being full of water to operate. Fill
the water reservoir with clean water only. The
water level must be between the ‘MIN’
(500ml) and ‘MAX’ (1000ml) markings.
When continuously cooking food with your
steamer ensure that the water level does not
fall below the ‘MIN’ marking (500ml).
If this does occur your VitaSteam Electronic
is fitted with an Automatic boil dry sensor.
See previous page for more details.

The VitaSteam Electronic comes with three
steaming trays. The appliance can operate
with all trays stacked on top of each other or
with just one tray in position. See Figure 1.
Trays can also have the bases removed to
allow for larger foods. See Figure 2.
Place the largest piece of food with the
longest cooking time in the lower steaming
bowl, then place on top of the Removable
Drip Tray and Power Base.
Then place the upper steaming tray
on top for cooking of vegetables.
Note: Ensure bases are properly clicked into
the sides of each tray before use.
Guide to using the Steaming Trays
Guide to using the Rice Bowl
Cooking of rice must be done in the Rice
Bowl. The Rice Bowl must be placed in the
top steaming tray with the lid.
Both uncooked rice and water must be added
to the Rice Bowl. Check the recommended
quantities on Page 12. For perfect rice,
ensure you rinse rice properly with cold
running water before cooking.
When handling the Rice Bowl use insulated
pot holders/oven mitts to avoid burns from
the hot steam.

Before cleaning your Sunbeam VitaSteam
Electronic, ensure the power is turned off at
the power outlet and the plug removed.
Wash the rice bowl, steam tray, drip trays
and the lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and
dry.
DO NOT wash in dishwasher as the hot water
temperatures and harsh detergents may
ultimately warp and scratch these parts. DO
NOT use abrasives or abrasive cleaners as
these may also cause scratching.
Wipe out the interior of the steamer base
with a warm, damp cloth or a small brush.
Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp
cloth or sponge. DO NOT use abrasives or
abrasive cleaners as these may scratch the
steamer base.
Warning.
NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE OF YOUR
STEAMER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUID.
Important – Mineral Deposits.
Mineral deposits may accumulate on the
Exposed Heating Element which can result
in your Sunbeam VitaSteam Electronic
switching off before the cooking cycle is
complete. To remove this build up use a wet
scouring pad and rub over the surface of the
heating element only after each use.
Alternatively, prepare a solution of either:
(i)- 2 cups of water in which 1 teaspoon of
cream of tartar has been dissolved; or
(ii)- 2 cups of water to which 1 tablespoon
of lemon juice or white vinegar has been
added.
Pour the solution into the reservoir, position
the Lid and operate your Sunbeam VitaSteam
Electronic for approximately 15 minutes.
Remove the lid and clean as directed.
If excess scale has built up, repeat this
process.
Note:
If food with a strong odour, such as fish
and cabbage has been steamed, the above
procedure may be followed with the Steamer
trays or rice cooker bowl in position. This will
ensure that the odour is not transferred to
the next steaming cycle.
Care and Cleaning

The following are some handy hints on how
to steam vegetables:
1. Before steaming, wash the vegetables
thoroughly.
2. Cut off stems and peel if desired.
3. Cut vegetable to the desired size (smaller
pieces steam faster than larger ones).
4. To retain the vegetables flavour and
nutrients, steam until just tender, but still
slightly firm.
5. When steaming several different
vegetables at once, place the largest and
firmest in the steamer first. Add other
vegetables according to size during the
steaming time.
6. If a sauce or liquid is to be prepared
with the vegetables, use the rice bowl for
steaming.
7. Frozen vegetables should not be thawed
before steaming.
